Stop assuming the IPA packet status has a fixed format (defined by a C structure). Instead, use a function to extract each field from a block of data interpreted as an IPA packet status. Define an enumerated type that identifies the fields that can be extracted. The current function extracts fields based on the existing ipa_status structure format (which is no longer used). Define IPA_STATUS_RULE_MISS, to replace the calls to field_max() to represent that condition; those depended on the knowing the width of a filter or router rule in the IPA packet status structure.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
